Re: THE SHINS 2011

I saw them live 3 times (only one headlining) and they were spot-on wonderful for all of the sets. The last time I saw them was about a year ago, and they played maybe 4 or 5 new songs. So they definitely have material (and have for a while). It should happen.

Re: THE SHINS 2011

I've been fortunate to see the Shins 5 times since '05. Three times at Festivals, once Headlining and once performing at a radio studio (KFOG in SF). The headlining show was here in Seattle after James Mercer fired Jesse and Marty and, to be honest, they were still phenomenal.

Re: THE SHINS 2011

James Mercer fired his last bandmates. I sincerely hope a Shins reunion (or new lineup) is close. If they were able to get an album out before Coachella '11, then it's possible.
Broken Bells is worth double it's price.. but I'm not saying you should pay for it.

They already played a bunch of shows since he fired the 2 guys. With new material. So I don't know that they're broken up as much as they are just working on different stuff right now... but the fired guys are definitely fired.
